LONDON PARLEY RESULTS VITAL TO 5 NATIONS International Prestige to Hinge on Decisions of Navy Conference. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scrlpps-Hoifard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—Despite the utmost good will, plus the best efforts of all concerned to make the going easy for the coming naval conference, London promises to equal Versailles as a diplomatic bat-tle-ground. At least three cabinets are staking their political lives on the outcome of the five-power meeting, now less than four weeks off. These are the British, the French and the Japanese, and unless it can stand the spyglass scrutiny which the United States senate will give it, the treaty which the American delegation brings back to this country will not be ratified. Only the fifth power, Italy, is sitting pretty. That is because her delegation to London will make no move without first listening to the master voice of Dictator Mussolini. Japan Makes Up Mind Japan, according to the Osaka Mainichi, regards the coming parley as being in a large measure decisive. Definitely, and for a long time to come, it declares, it. will catalog, the powers, not only as to their naval standing in the world, but as to international prestige. For that reason, it is indicated, Japan will not accept any rating which will give her less than a 7 to 10 ratio with Great Britain and America. And it was precisely to secure such rating, says the Mainichi, that former Premier Wakatsuki, the ablest diplomat of all, was chosen to lead the Japan delegation. Charged with begininng negotiations the moment he arrived in Washington, the great Osaka daily declared, the battle would be carried to London if his first efforts failed. Such failure, the paper added significantly, would mean only one thing and that is that “The London conference, instead of a farce, will be a real and stormy one.” The Hamaguchi cabinet at Tokio hardly could survive an agreement at London which failed to give Japan what she demands. News from London indicates that Premier MacDonald’s difficulties are mounting almost daily. Agreement with America notoriously hinges upon parity, based upon reasonable tonnage figures for auxiliary craft, particularly cruisers. Without this, the American senate never would ratify the treaty. Tories Are Waiting Nevertheless, the entire Tory party in England—which is almost as strong as the Labor party in the house of commons—plus a large number of liberals, is crouching, ready to leap upon the premier if his bargain with America really means all-round equality on the sea. In France the cabinet of Premier Tardieu will face certain overthrow if it enters into any agreement which does not consider the national defense—on land and in the air as well as on, over and under the sea—as one problem, and, in the final analysis, dependent upon the League of Nations, to which France largely looks for security. In Rome there is but one thought. Fascist Italy prestige must in no wise suffer. Her fleet must equal France’s, and that France seems in no mood to permit. All sorts of arrangements are being discussed, but like Japan, every one of the five powers now seems to sense that whatever happens in London will have a tremendous bearing on its future, both as a sea power and in prestige. So agreement. all the way round will not be easy. Like a mountain at first seen from a distance, the magnitude of the London conference appears to be growing in impressiveness, the nearer it is approached. CO-OPERATION REFUSED And Perhaps the State Is Right on This Problem. Bv United /’res? BOISE. Ida., Dec. 26.—Louis Obermeyer caught a nice healthy papa skunk, and decided he would start a skunk farm if he could find a mama skunk. He appealed to the game department. But Louis will have to wait until the game department finds a skunk deep in sleep; so unconscious that she won't awaken to investigate and retaliate. Members of the department refused to co-operate under any other circumstances. FLOOD BODY TO MEET National Congress Scheduled for April; 15,000 Expected. Bv United Press MEMPHIS. Tenn., Dec. 27.—Tire first session of the national flood control congress is to be held here April 14 to 19 of next year.

FOMENT OPINION FOB ABOLITION OF BATTLESHIP California Group Seeks to Crystallize Sentiment as Parley Nears. Bv Scrivps-Hovarit \ctcspaper Alliance SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27.—Abolish the battleship. With this mandate, the organized peace crusaders of California today began a statewide drive to mobilize sentiment behind the coming London arms conference in support of the foreign policies of the President. From the office of the California Council for the Prevention of War here today went forth appeals for mass meetings, special sermons, resolutions and newspaper expressions to crystallize the peace sentiment into a definite program. This is in an effort to persuade the London conference to dismantle the sixty-two great and expensive floating fortresses of the five big powers. To Organize Sentiment “We are out to organize the antiwar sentiment of California,” said Dr. Lincoln Witt, executive secretary of the council. “We want to back up the foreign policies of California’s President particularly with relation to the coming arms conference at London.” “The mayors of all the important cities and towns, Service Clubs, newspapers, churches and other centers of public opinion will be appealed to within the next few weeks in California. We are asking not only generalities. We want to see this conference abolish battleships once and for all. Agreed on Fifty “The cruiser program will not be so easy. We understand that President Hoover and Premier MacDonald have agreed on fifty cruisers,
